Those simple benign things that bring a moment of happiness. For me, drinking the foam off a freshly poured fountain drink.

I've always enjoyed watching the sun rise.

Puppy head smell

Standing on the shore of Lake Superior.
Watching all the animals my bird feeder is supporting.
Talking to my kid.
My purring cat.

Really sharp knives and scissors.

Not owing anyone money for decades.

The Farmers Daughter... I married her.

OK wait, you said simple things.
...starting over...

Leg hugs.
Running start leg hugs from a Grandchild when they see you.

A gas burning tool that fires up on the first pull!

The hot apple pie cobbler, a la mode, from the Apple Barn Bakery.

Sleeping late. (after years of getting up at 3 AM for an hour commute)

making someone's day better.

Lately, it's been that few seconds before the volleyball is served. On the receiving side it's being focused on nothing but trying to read the serve.

In that moment I forget everything else, and I'm just happy to be there, still playing.

The joy of the Portland Thorns after scoring a goal.

A fresh bagel, right out of the oven.

A fresh, hot cup of coffee in the morning when the house is cool and quiet.
The smells, sights and sounds when I walk my dog in the early morning. The mist coming off the pines in a neighbor's backyard is beautiful in the sunrise.
The SkyBluePinkandPurple of sunset. My dad called it that color and every time I see it I am reminded of him.
Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family.

waking up without an alarm clock.

Watching the woods come to life from the stand.

The change in air temperature when a big summer thunderstorm rolls in.

The muffled quiet of being in a heavy snowfall.

A hot shower.

Hookers & Blow?

Your woman, modeling the lingerie she just purchased..

Watching dogs play.

 
Sitting outside in the desert at night, listening to the coyotes, GHOs, and other creatures of the night.

Putting on a brand new pair of socks.
